Added Moksh Chopra, chief marketing officer, KFC India, “A bit of crispy and crunch go a long way in inducing some excitement in daily routines. And, who better than celebrated artistes Karan Johar and (actor) Srinidhi Shetty, to reinforce the drama in KFC’s Popcorn Nachos, in their signature charismatic styles. With double the crunch and an interesting blend of flavours, drama lovers, let’s KFC!”
